1. Cyclophorus aborensis Godwin-Austen, 1915

Cyclophorus aborensis Godwin-Austen, 1915: 494, pl. 38, fig. 1, 1a-c. Nantarat et al. 2014a: 3, 4, fig. 2a, b.

Type material.

Holotype NZSI M.6010/1. Paratypes NZSI M.6009/1 (1 shell) from Rotung, 2000 ft., near Egar stream; NHMUK 1903.7.1.3048 (2 shells; Nantarat et al. 2014a; fig. 2b) from Kalek; NHMUK 1903.7.1.3051 (1 shell; Nantarat et al. 2014a; fig. 2a) from Renging.

Other non-type materials.

NHMUK 1903.7.1.3049 (2 shells) from Rami Dambang, Abor.

Specimen "No. 6010/1 in Ind. Mus." (NZSI M.6010/1) is deemed the holotype fixed by original designation as explained above. All specimens in the remaining lots are paratypes, except for lot "No. 3049 B.M.", which Godwin-Austen (1915) regarded as a dwarf variety. In addition, the designation of a lectotype from lot NHMUK 1903.7.1.3051, labelled with “Co-Type” in Godwin-Austen’s handwriting (Fig. 6A ) and recorded as “CoT” in the Register of Godwin-Austen (Fig. 7A ), by Nantarat et al. (2014a) is invalid. The type locality of this taxon is restricted to "Rotung, 2000 ft., near Egar stream" only.
